News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Suppression of the suspect's voice really is misinformation on the part of states and corporations, albeit for different reasons.
Relevant laws and policies are employed in order to deliberately withhold public information about motive. They don't want people placing these incidents this within a broader context. There couldn't possibly be a belief set behind the behaviour; the perp didn't have any ideas about how the world works, or who and what caused their circumstances. Oh no.
Why did the shooter go out and shoot people is a completely legitimate question. More than that, it will never be an illegitimate question, no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do. Learning is never wrong, and that includes the publishing and reading of a criminal suspect's thoughts.

welp, sucks to be them
Well shucks, guys, we sure do hope y'all will understand, but any discussion of current events will be looked upon as a direct affront on our corporate overlords and their kin, and golly gee, we'd feel just plum awful if our beloved faceless and soulless owners found a reason to be cross with us! So, we know you'll be just as soft and unquestioningly compliant as we have made up our minds to be, and that y'all will keep your dang ol' gazes pointed at the floor and your yaps shut, and just do as you're told, a-hyuck! Otherwise, our precious r/popculturechat might catch a whoopin' from them powers that be, and well-shut-my-mouth, we just absolutely, positively, could not ever fucking have THAT. EVER. Could we?

On one hand, Aaron Swartz must be spinning like a rotisserie chicken in his grave.
On the other hand, Reddit banned content glorifying violence years ago, and that's exactly what Luigi's manifesto is encouraging...
On the other other hand, eating a rich is a good thing and should always be encouraged
Why do people still use reddit? why do people still use twitter? why are people using bluesky thinking it'll be different??
It's the network effect. It's always the network effect.
Your current platform enshittified. Where do you go? Well, the majority of people are going to Bluesky, and it's familiar in terms of UI, so you go there. Sure, you could convince someone like that to try something like Mastodon, but Mastodon is comparably much smaller than Bluesky, so its intrinsic value to people is substantially lower, not to mention the fact that without an algorithm, most of these users have no clue how to curate a feed, since every platform has an algorithm now. A lot of these people will have never used an algorithm-less platform in their entire life.
The same goes for Reddit vs. Lemmy. Reddit has much more users than Lemmy, more niche communities, higher engagement, etc. Why move somewhere that's identical in function if it's smaller? Your current platform works well enough.
I think it's easy to underestimate how much censorship and enshittification people are willing to put up with. People will put up with a lot before they switch platforms. Reddit not letting people publish a person's manifesto isn't gonna convince many people to abandon their entire accounts and communities and to switch to Lemmy.
It literally took Twitter being rebranded into oblivion, and turned into an explicit safe haven for fascists and far-right freaks, with an algorithm deboosting non paid-for content multiple times over before people really started flocking out in large numbers.
I think it’s easy to underestimate how much censorship and enshittification people are willing to put up with. People will put up with a lot before they switch platforms.

I wonder, what is considered the back page of the internet? Maybe 4chan.
That's the latrine. The backpage is porn.

When do we all just say fuck it?
When everything's great and then the home office calls
While I agree this is inappropriate censorship in favor of the corpos, I thought the manifesto that people were sharing was debunked as not his? I heard (from an unverified source so I don't have evidence) that Luigi himself stated it was not his?
There's another one that's longer that talks about a family member. That is the fake.
Fucking corpo scum.
Meanwhile, on Lemmy is seems like no one is allowed to post anything else.
There is [email protected] that got created recently. This thread can interest you: https://lemmy.world/post/22973877

Front page of their internet
Wow, reddit has fallen even further than I thought, and I thought it had fallen pretty fucking far.
Aaron Swartz rotating in his grave so fast rn he's become a source of renewable energy
